3 busses per track?? for what?

resource limits for a conventional DAW:

    - for recording and playback: disk streaming i/o rate
    - for FX processing : CPU power
    - for low latency: hardware and software configuration

busses don't do recording or playback, so they consume no disk i/o
resources.
